Happy Monday, San Francisco Giants fans.
On Sunday night, a few hours after the Giants put forth their first winning streak of the season, they made a trade. And with the move, the great Sam Long adventure has come to a close.
The Giants agreed to send Long across the bay to the Oakland Athletics, where they’ll receive the prized prospect that is cash considerations. It’s a case of getting something for nothing, as the Giants had designated Long for assignment on Wednesday. The Giants had, ironically, DFA’d Long to clear a roster spot for outfielder Cal Stevenson, a player they had acquired in a trade with — you guessed it — the A’s, for — you guessed it — cash considerations.
